The first session is an opportunity to talk about what brought you here, understand what you need, and discuss how counselling and guidance may support you. You don't need to prepare a perfect explanation.

Do I need a diagnosis to book a session?

No. People seek counselling for many reasons, including stress, relationship concerns, academic pressure, career uncertainty, emotional difficulties, and challenging life situations.

Is counselling confidential?

Sessions are treated as private and confidential, subject to applicable professional, legal, and safety-related limitations.

How long is a session?

Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes.

How much does a session cost?

₹1000 per session, including the first session.

How are online sessions conducted?

Sessions take place online through Google Meet. You can join from a private and comfortable location.

What if I don't know what to say?

That's okay. You don't need to know exactly what to say or where to start. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you.

Can I reschedule a session?

Yes. Please provide 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel.

Why counselling

You don't have to figure everything out alone.

Some things are difficult to explain.

You may feel overwhelmed without knowing exactly why. You may be carrying stress from work or studies, struggling with relationships, worrying about your future, or simply feeling that you need someone to talk to.

A Safe Place offers you time and space to slow down, talk openly, understand what you're experiencing, and explore ways forward that fit your life.

There is no judgement. No pressure to have all the answers.

Just a conversation that begins where you are.

About

Meet Garima Agarwal

Counselling and Guidance

I started A Safe Place because so many people carry things quietly, waiting for the right moment to say them out loud.

I hold a Diploma in Counselling Psychology and provide online counselling and guidance in a calm, private, and non-judgemental setting.

My approach is simple: to listen without rushing, understand what you're going through, and help you explore practical ways of coping and moving forward.

Every session is guided by what you need that day.
